by Deb Cupples | You've likely noticed that I keep track of gas prices in my small, North Central Florida city: i.e., I take photos of the price sign at the same Texaco gas station. Yesterday, I took the one on the left, because prices had gone up 4 cents just over the last couple of days.
Below are recent gas prices at that same station (9/10 of a cent omitted):
...........Feb 1.... April 1....May 1.....May 5...May 11....May 13
Reg......$3.16......$3.49.........$3.79.......$3.72......$3.85..........$3.89
Dsl.......$4.39......$4.09........$4.29........$4.29......$4.45..........$4.45
Notice that the price went down 7-cents from May 1 to May 5, then went up 13-cents less than a week later. Within two days of that (yesterday), it went up another 4-cents. The big jump is from February 1 to May 13: a 73-cent increase in just three-and-a-half months.
